NABBED A HYPNOTIST Tenstrike Citizens Slander- ed and Showman Pays to Get Qut of Town. HYPNOTIST GAVE PERFORM- ANCE LAST NIGHT, But Several Stunts Not on The Bill Caused His Arrest This Morning. Newman, the hypnotist, who claims for himself the ability to put under the mystic influence all but drunkards, fools or skep- tics, gave a one man show at Tenstrike last niglt, but several stunts not on the regular bill were pulled off and as a result the hynoptist this morning paid Walter Harris $15 in order to “square” himself for having slandered Mr. Harris in the presence of those who attended the show. The performance opened at Jacobson’s hall at the usual hour and a goodly crowd was there. The usual ante-real-show* speech was made, after which the hypunotist called for sound minded men upon which to prac- tice his mysterious power. A number responded, among them being Walter Harris, manager of the Hotel Richards. The young- er men who were willing to allow the hypnotist to use them in his verformance were quickly put to sleep and went through the most unusual antics. When the showman called upon Mr, Harris, however, is when the trouble began. Mr. Harris allowed bim to use all his charms ‘and mysterious powers upon him, but failed to be affect- ed, and after the hypnotist had exhausted his cunning Mr. Har- ris promptly .and emphatically declared to him that he was a fake and could not perform the wonderful things that he claimed - This stirred up considerable ire on the part of the showman, who immediately entered into a some- what heated argument with Mr, Harris, insinuating that he be- longed to one of the three classes which were excluded from his subjects. Mr. Harris left the hall but when the showman attempted to leave the town this morning he was taken in charge by Constable Ed Leonard, who conducted him back to the Richards hotel, where he paid Mr. Harris $15 in order to get out of town.

The Dode - Fisk orchestra of ten pieces will be heard in con- cert at the Opera house this evening. The orchestra has a national reputation and the con- cert will without question be the best musical production that has ever been heard in Bemidji. Two members of the orchestra are ladies and vocal music will form a considerable portion of the concert program. Several musical specialities will be given, one of them being the remark- able playing of a lady drummer who has been added to the or- chestra this year for the first time. Following the councert will be given a dance to which the lovers of the terpsichorean art are look- ing forward to with delight. The orchestra furnishes the most de- lightful music for dancing that can be imagined and the dance will be one of the most enjoyable ever given in the city. ARRESTED FOR BEING BAD BOY Roy Hardy May Be Sént to State Reformatory for Correction. Roy, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hardy, who live at 1005 Park avenue, was arrested upon a warrant sworn out by C. E. Hulett and arraigned yesterday afternoon before Judge Pender gast, charged with incorrigibil- ity. Over 80 witnesses were ex amined as to the boy’s actions, and it was brought out at the trial that he had undoubtedly not been an ideal Sunday school boy. No decision has been hand ed down by Judge Pendergast as yet, but it is very probable that young Hardy, who is only 11 years of age, will be sent to the state reformatory for correction.

St. Petersburg, March -9.—Late in the afterncon the general staff, al though declining to give details, insisfs that the rumors of disaster to General Kuropatkin are false, declaring that the issue is not yet decided. Neither do the officials confirm the report that General Rennenkampff is in imminent danger of being surrounded. On the contrary they profess satisfaction at the situation. Accoring to private in- formation the fighting during the day along the whole front was much less scvere and at points complete calm prevailed. Russians Southeast of Mukden Flee i From Machuntun.

FACTORY T0 BE ERECTED IN BEMIDJL. Interested Capitalists Will Furn- ish Money to Back the Project. - George G. Weetman, who re- sides at 715 Minnesota avenue, yesterday received from the pat- ent department at Washington a patent upon an acetylene gas plant which he invented. Mr. Weetman applied for a patent about three months ago and since that time the matter has been pending in Washington with the ultimate result that he will be accorded the exclusive right to manufacture the article. Mr. Weetman states that he will not sell his patent, but in- tends to erect a factory for its manufacture in Bemidji in the near future. He claims to have a number of capitalists interest- ed in the invention and that they will furnish money with which to erect and maintain the project. A model of the plant has been on exhibition in Bemidji for some time past, and a number of ex- perts who have examined it de- clare it tobe one of the best things of the kind in existence. Many points of superiority are claimed for it, among them being that the plant is so built thatan explosion is impossible, that it has six times the illuminating power of coal gas, that it burns any grade or quality of carbide and also thatit may be recharged in one half of a minute. Mr. Weetman states that the plants will be made in many dif- ferent sizes and will rangein price from $50 to $1,000. FIVE THOUSAND STRIKE NEW YORK CITY SUBWAY AND ELEVATED LINES TIED UP BY WALKOUT OF EMPLOYES. BREAT INCONVENIENGE TO THE PUBLIC | SURFACE ROADS UNABLE TO HAN- DLE THE IMMENSE INCREASE IN PASSENGER TRAFFIC. New York, March 8.—A strike by 7908 employes of the Interhnrough Rapid Transit company, cperating the subway and Manhattan elevated lines in this city, which took effect at 4 a. m,,. was one of the most complete in its early stages of any in the history of New York. After the hour set no train was started with union crews and the latter quit each train when the terminals of the various lines had been reached. One union motorman on the Ninth avenue elevated line refused to desert with the remainder of the crew and, so far, his was the only defection re- ported. Many of the ticket sellers re- mained at their posts because they are under bond, but posted signs announc- ing the strike and re[llsed to sell tickets. Crews of strike breakers were hur- ried to the northern ends of the lines, but not many were found who under- stood the- manipulation of airbrakes. In the subway crews were secured for a few trains, which were run up and down over short stretches in an effort to teach new men the method of opera- tion. Similar efforts were made on the elevated lines. Pickets Warn Patrons. Pickets from the strikers’ ranks were posted everywhere outside sta- tions and warned persons who at- tempted to enter that the strike was on and declared that “it was danger- ous to ride on the trains.” They asserted that safety devices and emergency brake cords had been removed. F'ree access was offered to all per- sons who wished to ride so far as the officials of the company were con- cerned. In.fact few of the ticket booths were occupied and®passengers desiring to ride were admitted at their own risk. Surtace lines reaped a harvest. Hun- dreds of thousands of persons accus- tomed to being whirled down town on-| express trains and who knew nothing of the strike until they reached the streets after breakfast hustled for the nearest car line. Similar conditions prevailed in every section of the city. On the Upper West Side and in Harlem morning newspapers were not delivered as early as usual. After 8 o'clock conditions on the | subway were greatly improved. Trains ‘were operated frequently and without interference, confusion or delay. | Physieians ‘ will Whethm; L. H. Bailey Will Be Operated Upon. Dr, Maclaren of Minneapolis and Dr. Courtney of Brainerd ‘| will arrive in the city this even- ing, and together with Dr. Hen- derson of Bemidji will hold a consultation in the case of L, H. Bailey, the Bemidjiattorney who is critically illat his home on| Minnesota avenue. The meeting of the physicians will take place tonight and it will be decided whether or notan operation is necessary. The consultation re- cently held by D:. Henderson and Dr. J. I. Bailey of Tipton, Towa, resulted in a decision to postpone the operation, - which is | a very delicate one, until a later date. upon Mr. Bailey the operation will probably be performed to- ! mOrrow.
